Reseña del libro "The Wardrobe Mistress: A heart-wrenching wartime love story"
London 1945, and as victory unfurls throughout Europe, a young war widow steps aboard a train in search of a new life. The fighting may be over, but for Vanessa Kingcourt the heartache has only just begun. Taking up a new job as a wardrobe mistress, with no experience and no budget for supplies, Vanessa must use her intuition to create beautiful, elaborate costumes from whatever scraps of silk and thread survived the blitz under the watchful eye of her employer, and husband of her oldest friend, Alistair. It's a seemingly impossible task, one that will unravel secrets sewn deep into the very fabric of her past, but a welcome distraction from her growing feelings for Alistair. Will she dare to love a man who can never be hers? What readers are saying about The Wardrobe Mistress: 'Beautifully told, this is a lush, descriptive story about life after World War II' Cayo Costa, 5 Stars'A journey that will pull your heartstrings and leave a lasting impression.' Nik Book Lover, 4 stars'Really enjoyed this novel - many layers of intrigue, a sumptuous theatre setting and the background of WW2 all make for a complex novel of split personalities, shadows behind the curtains and never really knowing who, or what, is just out of sight, stage left. The writing was strong and lyrical throughout and the plot unfolded with all the flair and panache you might expect of a top London theatre. Bravo Ms Evans - encore!' The Book Trail, 5 stars'Full of intrigue, great characters & an epic storyline. Natalie has definitely done it again! Just want to pick it up, don't want to be at work!!!!'

Highly recommend this colourful, poignant tale to everyone!' Renita D'Silva, 5 Stars'It's full of mystery and intrigue, and the characters will surprise you time after time.' Goodreads 'Betrayal, secrets long hidden, love, hate, war and peace. If you like historical fiction, you should like this too.' Wexler and Company
